Swing/AWT/SWT :: Setting Up User Interface - JFrame
Jul 29, 2014
What I'm trying to do is show a loginscreen. After logging in it should show another contentpane with actual content.
This is my main class:
public class Project extends JFrame
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JFrame frame = new Project ();
JPanel paneel = new Paneel ();
frame.setSize (800, 600);
[Code] ....
The compiler gives me an error when I try to refer to "frame". What I've tried to do is refer to frame by using
Project.frame but it still gives me the same error. The compiler shows the message that it cannot find "frame" in class Project, but that's exactly where it is!
Is there a simple way to make this work? I've read about threads and loops but they don't seem the most basic solution. Maybe there's a way to get the current frame so I can use that?

I am rather new to Swing, and I am building a game right now in which I need to display a pop-up window as a reminder for what commands exist within the game. I created a class extending JFrame for this and added all the information I need. However, for some reason, no matter how many different ways I try to set the size of this window (setSize(w, h), pack(), using a different layout, adding the compnents to a JPanel first and setting the preffered size of that, then adding the JPanel to the JFrame), it doesn't work. Instead of a window of my requested size, I get a tiny, maybe 100 x 100 pixel window that needs to be resized in order for its contents to be visible.
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;

I am trying to create a basic graphical user interface for sequence translation (including a JTextField for the description of a sequence and status of function button pressed e.g. “simple” translation and input and output TextFields). This involves a number of different class files. I cannot get my user interface to do what I want and I think I have problems with my "actionPerformed" method. How the code should be linked together?
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
try {
// Get the description, content and result
String d = tool.getDescription();
String input = tool.getInputText();
Stringr = translation.getResult();
[code]....

I am new a creating GUIs and am not quite sure how to correctly make one. I have done the inheritance parts, and created two extra appliances: a washer and dryer. Now Creating the GUI ....
Here are the instructions to my project.
Introduction to GUIs (+ some inheritance)
For this assignment, you are going to create a user interface that interacts with the setters and getters of some classes that you will create.
First, create an abstract class called Appliance. This abstract class should have two attributes (dealing with household appliances) and two abstract methods called turnOn() and turnOff(). These methods should return void.
Then, create two subclasses of Appliance that represent household appliances (like a Refrigerator or Stove ((don't use those!))). These subclasses should have two attributes that are specific to the various appliance. Each subclass should implement the turnOn() and turnOff() methods. These methods should print to the command line some information about the appliance as it turns on and off.
Now, the fun part! Create a GUI interface!
Your window should have two panels: one for each appliance subclass. Each panel should have 4 textboxes (with appropriate labels) to receive/display information that correspond to the 4 attributes (2 from Appliance and 2 from the subclass) for each subclass.You also need 2 buttons on each panel: A Get button and a Set button.
When the Get button is pressed, the text boxes should be filled with the information from the instantiated object of the appropriate subclass. When the Set button is pressed, the object should then contain the information contained that the user has altered.
In your main method, you should create an object of each subclass, and prefill it with information (either using the constructor or the setters), then display your GUI. You should now be able to get and set the information for your objects from the GUI.
At least one of your attributes for each subclass should be numeric
Note that you will need to handle incorrectly formatted input (You can use exception handling to do this if you want to. Wrapper classes also will work)
If there is text in the boxes when the "Get" button is pressed, it should be overwritten by what is in the object. Remember that these two panels should both be on screen at the same time.
You don't need 2 different windows, one window: 2 panels.

I am making an app that would allow user to buy seat either by Price or Choice (Row and Column). I have Original code where it runs within JAVA IDE I am making same thing but rather in GUI now. I need putting my Buttons, textfield, and area in organize fashion.
I have not explain how these buttons will behave or act but right now putting them in order is priority then I will add action listeners to do the task we intend to do. A Wire Frame of the code looks like this :
Here is NON GUI Code:
import java.util.*;
public class HW06
{
static int[][] seats =new int[][] {
{10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10},
{10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10},
{10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10},
{10, 10, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10},
{10, 10, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10},
{10, 10, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 10, 10},
{20, 20, 30, 30, 40, 40, 30, 30, 20, 20},
{20, 30, 30, 40, 50, 50, 40, 30, 30, 20},
{30, 40, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 40, 30}
};
static int rowSize, colSize;
static String strChoice;
static Boolean finished=false;
public static void main (String[] args)

Recently I have been working on an executable launcher. I tried to get the executable icons and set them on the JButtons. Still there are some problems. Here is a part of the code:
try {
button[i].setIcon(FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getSystemIcon(new File(getConfig("path." + (i+1)))));
}
catch (NullPointerException ex) {
}
Here the getConfig() method is already defined to get a string in a "properties" file. However, the icons are very small and they don't fill the entire button.
How can the icon fill the entire button (for example, having a custom size of 48x48, or automatically filled the button)? The frame will not be resized.
Here is the whole code...
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.io.File.*;
[Code] ....

I am making use of NetBeans IDE 8.0 to build a GUI. The idea is that I set multiple values received from textfields to textarea. This will enable me print the work. But ONLY ONE value from textfields is set(appear on textarea); the others do not appear at all. Below is example of what I mean:
String s = jTextField1.getText();
JTextArea1.setText(s);
String x =
jTextField2.getText();
JTextArea1.setText(x);
Only one is being set. The rest are not.

I am wondering how to do the following:when a user clicks on a save menu item, a save JFileChooser pops up. I would like to have a default file name set in the FileName box on the chooser, similar to what applications like Microsft word has. Right now, no file name will appear until the user has selected a file.I also need to know how to get the text from this box in the case that the user enters a new file name (the getSelection function is not useful here because the user will not have selected an existing file.)

I am making an expert system using Jess about animals. I wanted to make an interface using Swing and so I did. I have a problem using group layouts. The application works fine but at the end a exceptions is thrown:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalStateException: javax.swing.JLabel[,0,0,0x0,invalid,alignmentX=0.0,
alignmentY=0.0,border=,flags=8388608,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,
preferredSize=,defaultIcon=,disabledIcon=,horizontalAlignment=LEADING,
horizontalTextPosition=TRAILING,iconTextGap=4,labelFor=,
text=The animal is a cheetah.,verticalAlignment=CENTER,
verticalTextPosition=CENTER] is not attached to a horizontal group
[Code] ....
The application ask the user some questions about the animal. When the expert system has enough information to know the animal it tells the name of the animal and shows a picture of it. The exception is thrown when the application has guessed the animal and shows the response.
Here is the code:
package xindria;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.GroupLayout.SequentialGroup;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
[Code] .....
I think the problem is related to the group layouts. I will attach the eclipse project too...

Is there a way to simply slap a rectangle into a JPanel (make it appear) with out creating an inner Class or helper Method, all within "Main"? And if not, why?
Making a JFrame is easy.
Adding a JPanel is a snap.
import java.awt.Color;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class TheJFrame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

All I need to do is show in just one JFrame the two combined JFrames. One JFrame namely leftPanel will appear to the left or west and the other namely rightPanel to the right or east using BorderLayout. I already did creating them first as JPanels or as internal classes and subsetted them in one JFrame but that didn't work because it looked messy. And now I've created them as two separate JFrames, compiled separately, and tried to subset them as one in the JFrame. I didn't add any functionality to this program because all I intend to do is to show those two JFrames together in one JFrame. Here's the code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class dirtyIceCream extends JFrame {
leftPanel westPanel;
rightPanel eastPanel;
public dirtyIceCream()
[code].....
What am I missing or did I code anything wrong here? Or should I use NetBeans IDE for anything as complicated as this?

I need to put a Web Page in my JFrame application , I got a lot codes on the internet and could implement without problems , but the problem is that this code has an ugly page as hell, with colored all wrong and with a very poor quality , one of code I used was this :
* import javax.swing . ;
{ public class SwingWebPage
public static void main ( String args [ ] ) throws Exception {
JEditorPane website = new JEditorPane ( " http://www.google.com/ " ) ;
website.setEditable ( false) ;
[code]...
If you test , you'll see that the page is displayed in the JFrame is horrible.

This is right from a book I'm reading but it doesn't work. The problem is to write an application that lets you determine the integer value returned by the InputEvent method getModifiers() when you click your left, right, or middle mouse button on a JFrame.
This is the code copied directly from the book. What is missing:
import java.awt.event.InputEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class JLeftOrRight {
